Right now, my goal would be to continue to grow spiritually.
Other goals,
My husband and I did this when I was about 20, about 10 years ago. Ours goals were to own our own home, to have children and both have careers where we could go to work and not be miserable. We have met those goals.
Now, if we could just get out of debt.....

The answer is "C"
by teejay inalthough this is a test for men only and all men answer "c" to all of these questions, women can also benefit by reviewing them so that they get to understand men and thereby enrich their own lives.. 1. alien beings from a highly advanced society visit the earth, and you are the first human they encounter.
as a token of intergalactic friendship, they present you with a small but incredibly sophisticated device that is capable of curing all disease, providing an infinite supply of clean energy, wiping out hunger and poverty, and permanently eliminating oppression and violence all over the entire earth.
you decide to:.

teejay,
I loved it!
I think my man knows we have two children although Im not sure he would get them both ready for school. We have been married long enough for me to know better than to ask him anything during a football game. He is a DIEHARD Packer fan. The worst kind!! I knew this and accepted them as his first love when we married. -

This is so funny!!!!
I have never even told my husband this but I prefer my right foot because my baby toenail on my left foot looks kind of funny to me. I have to file it because it doesnt grow perfectly even.

Te,he,he

That is very sad.
I dont know which is worse, the fact that they are neglecting their own grandson and possibly hurting him in the process or the fact that they may not even realize what they are doing.
They are the ones missing out on a relationship with your son.
My uncle once said about my children that he shouldnt even form a relationship with my children and become attatched to them since they are going to be killed in armageddon anyway. I guess he was upset and crying when he said this so I couldnt be madd at him. I do however HATE the W.T.S. This is a very morbid teaching of the organization. Imagine how painful it is for them to honestly believe that you and your family are going to be tortured and killed in armageddon. It really isnt their fault that this has been embedded into their brain.
I cant help but feel sorry for the witnesses. I know I hated believing that everyone including innocent children were going to die in armageddon. I would have rather died with them than serve a God that would be so cruel.
It is the societies teachings that have broken up so many families.
Not to mention how many people have lost loved ones do to the W.T.S false blood doctrine.
Just thinking about it makes me ill. -

I would definatly not want to bump into this one particular ex-boyfriend. He was very strange and obsessive. He would sneak into my bedroom and go through my things when we werent home. He once even tried to hypnotize me. I was like, "Uhhhhh, what are you doing"?
His mother was some kind of psycho therapist and I always felt like he was trying to get into my brain. Creeeeepy!!
Years after I had been married, he was still going to my mothers house asking about me and wanting my address. Thank God she never gave it. -

Who would you most like to meet.?
by JBean ini'm just curious...if you had the opportunity, who on this board would you like to meet if given the chance (or could without getting "in trouble"!)?
(could be serious, could be fun...) i for one, am just sooo curious to meet the cat himself... just to find out if he's much different in person than in his online persona!
...and maybe pet him a few times in the process...

Beautiful,
It is good that your family wasnt too stern. Unfortunatly you still felt those awful pangs of guilt over such minor issues. I think kids have enough to worry about just trying to fit in. They shouldnt have to worry about being struck down any moment by Almighty God. Dont get me wrong, I think its our job to teach our children what is right and wrong. The "Put the fear of God in them" mentality has been going on for years but I think it should be reserved for more important issues.I remember looking out my window on Christmas Eve for Santa just in case he really existed and was just skipping me since my family didnt believe in him.
I even called one of those 900#s "Dial a santa". Boy, did the s*it hit the fan when the phone bill came!
I dont know about you but if we didnt celebrate Christmas and I noticed my son or daughter trying to call Santa, I would feel so pathetic and guilty for denying them this.
Come to think of it, after that happend, my aunt would host an occasional "kids party" for the children. We had snacks, games and each of the parents would give their child a wrapped gift.
I guess they did try to make up for it in their own way. -

rhett,
I suppose your J.W. family feels in some way, that your chid isnt missing out these occasions so they are giving gifts to the J.W. child only. Not inviting you to Thanksgiving dinner for similar reasons. Either way, it is pretty rude. All family should receive the same treatment, epecially children. They dont even understand this whole religious mess. My daughter knows that she shouldnt mention birthdays, holidays, certain movies, Christmas pagants, Girl scouts, religion, etc. while e-mailing her J.W. cousins. She once asked me, "What should I talk about"? Needless to say, her e-mails are quite short.
Its sad but I guess after awhile we have accepted the fact that we just dont have much in common with them anymore.LB & Dobby
Naughty, Naughty!!!
Dont you know you are supposed to wait at least untill the following week! Its still Thanksgiving weekend ya' know!I wonder if the J.W.s arent in fact actually recognizing the holiday by acknowledging it at all. I mean, if a holiday is truly like any other day to them, as they say, why cant they eat turkey on Thanksgiving or open a gift on Christmas.
I am not too familiar with Jewish customs but isnt their gift giving season about a week long?
Are J.W.s not to accept gifts during that entire week for fear they may be celebrating Hahnakka?
Give me a break, ya' know? -

hybridous,
Thats funny! Does she send actual "Birthday" cards?
Grandmas do know best!
Whats ironic is that my grandmother was the one who introduced my entire family to the W.T.S.
Im sure she had no idea of the implications though.
No doubt she was probably doing it to try to save her family.
